Be very cautious using this service now with Grad gone. I’ve submitted three items in a row PSA slabbed and Epperson dual authenticated and they gave an “unlikely” to all three. I cropped the slab…Continue

Perhaps an unpopular opinion (and I understand the purpose is to drive revenue and album sales) but I hate signed inserts. Sign the record cover. Being forced to purchase antiquated CDs or obsolete…Continue

Be cautious when assuming COAs are good on eBay. I’ve found three full PSA letters that don’t cross reference in the database and upon closer inspection seem to be off a touch on font/color. I personally prefer encapsulation when feasible but if it can’t be, I prefer sticker on back of item not on the letter. Just double check if TPAs are your thing as lots of counterfeit LOAs are popping up.See More
"Doesn’t appear authentic and slowly drawn "
"I gave this a hard look but ultimately passed. Something just felt off. It would be interesting to see what Roger Epperson’s Quick Opinion would think."
"Did this ever come together? Would love to read it online."
"Because I’m testing the integrity of their system. Apparently there is none."
"Why are you submitting quick opinions on items PSA slabbed with an additional COA you trust? "
"I’m with Steve. I’m not super strong on MJ but doesn’t look right to me."

Be very cautious using this service now with Grad gone. I’ve submitted three items in a row PSA slabbed and Epperson dual authenticated and they gave an “unlikely” to all three. I cropped the slab out prior to submitting. Now, Collectors is failing their own product apparently. Save your $10See More
"Yes. I’d try from another email address so you get the filter email then go through the process once approved remind him of it and resend the image with a screenshot of your payment "
"I’ve emailed back and forth with him. Did you complete the email spam defender link he has set up or ignore / delete it? You have to be on his approved senders list for him to get emails. "
Inserts
Perhaps an unpopular opinion (and I understand the purpose is to drive revenue and album sales) but I hate signed inserts. Sign the record cover. Being forced to purchase antiquated CDs or obsolete vinyl just to get a small card is sad. I’d be more inclined to purchase an album if it were hard signed. Just my opinion.See More
